The Conservancy engaged thousands of volunteers to remove litter, sample water quality, and restore forests throughout the year to restore Rock Creek and its parklands. RCC expanded its partnerships to inspect and maintain green infrastructure with DC to include Montgomery County. Building on its launch in 2022, the Carter Barron Alliance continued to educate the Rock Creek Community about the restoration efforts of the Carter Barron Amphitheater. The Conservancy led efforts this year to build fundraising capacity for this effort. The Conservancy also spent the year engaging subject matter experts to create the Forest Resilience Framework that will be used as a tool to expand restoration efforts in Rock Creek Park and beyond. The Conservancy concluded 7 years of Downspout Disconnection program in 2023. 553354 674 Environmental Stewardship:The Conservancy continued people-powered restoration efforts across 33 acres of forest habitat, at five mini-oases in Rock Creek Park, a proof of concept for landscape-scale habitat restoration. Weekly volunteer events and training of volunteer leaders continued inside the outside of the park and RCC continued to provide summer work experience to students from schools in both DC and Montgomery County as part of the Rock Creek Conservation Corps (RC3). Events like the Extreme Cleanup and the Weed Wrangle, offered hundreds the opportunity to remove litter and invasive plants from the entirety of the watershed in DC and Montgomery County. Water quality and litter monitoring collaborations with volunteers and regional environmental organizations continued, and expanded to include salt monitoring. The Recreate Responsibly campaign continued to educate park visitors about ways to reduce their impact on park resources while enjoying outdoor recreation. A program series, Race, History, and Rock Creek, explores the intersection of those issues. The Conservancy continued its program, Summer in the Parks to introduce community members to the Conservancy and the National Park Service. 1800914 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false true true false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 33 0 true 23 true false false false false true true true true false false false false false X 15 15 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false DC MD X Cohn Reznick LLP 3016529100 7501 Wisconsin Ave 400E Bethesda MD 20814 Jeanne Braha Executive Director 40.00 0.00 X 133911 0 7047 Justin Kollinger Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Tanya Mayorkas Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Marlene Hunt Moss Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Amanda Leiter Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mary Cheh Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Rohan Patel Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Steve Hull Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Ethan Landis Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Greg Weingast Director 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Kenneth Connolly Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Kahlil Kettering Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Pavan Khoobchandani Chair 4.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Sherryl Newman Director 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Molly Hill Patten Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Brad T McKee Vice Chair 4.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 133911 0 7047 1 false false false 244644 258871 357053 1311205 4959 2171773 32383 32383 48230 258871 48230 Other Income 900099 1328 1328 1328 2205484 1328 0 32383 X 1608 1608 133911 119536 14008 367 720615 643257 75382 1976 7920 7070 828 22 33985 30337 3555 93 69924 62417 7315 192 68468 40838 27453 177 220162 167903 51448 811 50965 34292 9300 7373 43201 32540 10470 191 4445 4265 177 3 29074 17560 3317 8197 83 83 30304 18153 12039 112 NPS Partnership 581131 581131 PlanningOrganizational Devt 7156 5740 1398 18 Administrative 48769 31803 16710 256 Training 2991 2464 512 15 2054712 1800914 233995 19803 493611 1263688 705978 68141 42320 62491 15979 16708 20730 20730 82 176999 277628 10453 11053 1445422 1699709 68295 85259 1252 55088 69547 140347 X 1368039 1536862 7836 22500 1375875 1559362 1445422 1699709 150772 32715 0 X X false true X true false X 978162 815092 1351739 1419834 2171773 6736600 978162 815092 1351739 1419834 2171773 6736600 1257636 5478964 973 825 700 9465 32383 44346 8449 10336 5121 6654 1328 31888 6812834 0.80420 0.84910 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED false true false false false false false false false false 4283 4283 16447 16447 X 2332251 32715 94052 126767 2205484 2205484 2148764 94052 94052 2054712 2054712 Footnote for uncertain tax position under FIN 48 (Part X) The Organization follows the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification, which provides guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in The Organizations financial statements, if any.
